Vengono inoltre rese note le prime segnalazioni per il Lazio settentrionale. Parole chiave: Anoxia matutinalis matutinalis, Melolonthidae, distribuzione, Italia. Abstract - Notes on the distribution in Italy of Anoxia (Mesanoxia) matutinalis matutinalis Laporte de Castelnau, 1832 with new chorological data for some regions (Coleoptera, Melolonthidae). A generale overview of the Italian distribution of Anoxia (Mesanoxia) matutinalis matutinalis Laporte de Castelnau, 1832 is given, including new records for Lombardy and Umbria. Moreover, new records for northern Latium are reported. Key words: Anoxia matutinalis matutinalis, Melolonthidae, distribution, Italy. Introduzione Anoxia (Mesanoxia) matutinalis Laporte de Castelnau, 1832 è una delle sei specie della fauna italiana appartenenti al genere Anoxia. Ben riconoscibile per una vistosa pubescenza elitrale riunita a formare fasce longitudinali intere e ordinate (Ballerio et al., 2010), A. matutinalis è una specie politipica a corotipo S-europeo, che comprende sei sottospecie, molte delle quali presenti esclusivamente in terri- tori ristretti: A. m. suturalis Reitter 1890, conosciuta esclusivamente per la Grecia (Bezdek, 2006), A. m. moltonii Sabatinelli, 1976, endemica dell’Isola di Vulcano nelle Eolie (Sabatinelli, 1976; Ballerio et al., 2010), A. m. corsicana Sabatinelli, Museo di Storia Naturale dell’Università degli Studi di Firenze, Sezione di Zoologia “La Specola”, Via Romana 17, 50125 Firenze, Italia; e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] 66 FILIPPO CECCOLINI & Fausto BARBAGLI 1976, endemica della Corsica e della Sardegna settentrionale (cfr. Sabatinelli, 1976; Pesarini, 2004; Ballerio et al., 2010), A. m. sardoa Motschulsky, 1860, endemica della Sardegna centro-meridionale (cfr. Pesarini, 2004; Ballerio et al., 2010; Guer- lach, 2012), A. m. thumseri Guerlach, 2011, recentemente scoperta nella provincia di Oristano in Sardegna (Guerlach, 2011, 2012) e A. m. matutinalis Laporte de Castelnau, 1832, che risulta quella a più ampia distribuzione, dall’Italia (Sicilia inclusa) alle coste adriatiche della penisola balcanica e a Malta (cfr. Sabatinelli, 1976; Sabatinelli & Schembri, 1990; Bezdek, 2006; Ballerio et al., 2010; Pivotti et al., 2011). La sottospecie nominale, legata perlopiù ad ambienti costieri e ter- reni sabbiosi, in Italia è presente in buona parte del territorio, essendo segnalata per Liguria, Toscana, Abruzzo, Molise, Campania, Puglia, Basilicata, Calabria e Sicilia (Ballerio et al., 2010), Emilia-Romagna (Zangheri, 1969; Cerretti et al., 2003; Ente per i Parchi e la Biodiversità Emilia Orientale, 2012), Friuli-Venezia Giulia (Sabatinelli, 1976; Pesarini, 2004; Ballerio et al., 2011), Veneto (Pesarini, 2004; Ballerio et al., 2011), Trentino (Halbherr, 1892, 1908) e Alto Adige (Peez & Kahler, 1977; Hellrigl, 1996). Per il Lazio esiste una segnalazione di due esemplari raccolti nell’isola di Palmarola, nell’arcipelago delle Isole Ponziane (Carpaneto, 1979); per il resto della regione, in cui A. m. matutinalis è indicata genericamente come presente da Luigioni (1929), Porta (1934) e Ballerio et al. (2011), sono ripor- tate indicazioni di località soltanto per i dintorni di Roma (Luigioni, 1905; Carpa- neto & Piattella, 1997; Carpaneto et al., 1997). Con il presente contributo vengono forniti dati corologici inediti per Anoxia matutinalis matutinalis, aggiungendo alcune nuove regioni al suo areale di diffu- sione in Italia e specificandone meglio la distribuzione per un’altra. Materiali e metodi Il materiale utilizzato per il presente contributo proviene dalle collezioni degli autori e del Museo di Storia Naturale dell’Università di Firenze, sezione di Zoolo- gia “La Specola”. Tutti gli esemplari sono stati determinati o rivisti dagli autori. Per ciascun lotto sono riportati i dati di cattura disponibili, il numero degli esemplari e la collezione di appartenenza. Le abbreviazioni utilizzate hanno il seguente significato: CFB = Collezione Fausto Barbagli, Arezzo; CFC = Collezione Filippo Ceccolini, Rassina (Arezzo); MSNF = Museo di Storia Naturale di Firenze, sez. di Zoologia “La Specola”.

Discussione Gli esemplari menzionati in questo contributo costituiscono le prime segnala- zioni di Anoxia matutinalis matutinalis per la Lombardia e l’Umbria, portando così a 16 il numero delle regioni in cui tale sottospecie è segnalata in Italia. Inoltre ven- gono forniti i primi dati per il Lazio settentrionale. Con le segnalazioni per Umbria e Lazio viene documentata meglio la continuità dell’areale del taxon nell’Italia centrale, mentre quelle lombarde permettono di ampliare a nord-ovest tale areale. Queste segnalazioni dimostrano come le informazioni relative alla corologia di Fig. 1 - Anoxia matutinalis matutinalis. A) ♀, Montalto Marina, 18.VII.1995, legit G. Forzoni (CFB) B) ♂, 4.VII.1998, leg. Fb e Fl Barbagli (CFC). (Foto/Photo by: S. Bambi). 68 FILIPPO CECCOLINI & Fausto BARBAGLI A. matutinalis matutinalis fossero ancora piuttosto incomplete, nonostante l’aspetto vistoso e la relativa facilità di reperimento di questo coleottero. È peraltro possibile che l’areale possa essere ulteriormente esteso grazie ad una verifica dettagliata del materiale conservato nelle collezioni dei vari Musei. Alla luce dei dati riportati è in ogni caso ipotizzabile una diffusione ancora più estesa di questa sottospecie in Italia, in quanto appare plausibile la sua presenza anche in Piemonte e nelle Marche, che presentano, oltre che una collocazione limitrofa all’areale conosciuto, anche ambienti favorevoli per la biologia di A. matutinalis. Per quanto riguarda le Marche, va però sottolineato come in uno studio frutto di un’attività di ricerca effet- tuata sulla coleotterofauna della regione tra il 1987 e il 2012, A. matutinalis matu- tinalis non sia mai stata reperita (Giovagnoli et al., 2012). In generale comunque, ulteriori ricerche sarebbero auspicabili per incrementare i dati corologici relativi a questo melolontide, non solo per ottenere informazioni dall’intrinseco valore fauni- stico, ma anche per monitorare possibili effetti sulla vegetazione, come è stato fatto attraverso studi condotti in Salento che dimostrano un forte impatto sulle pinete di Pinus halepensis Miller e P. pinea Linnaeus, vittime di grandi defogliazioni da parte degli adulti di A. matutinalis matutinalis (Triggiani & Tarasco, 2002; Tarasco & Triggiani, 2011). Ringraziamenti Desideriamo ringraziare vivamente Luca Bartolozzi del Museo di Storia Naturale dell’Università di Firenze, sezione di Zoologia “La Specola” per averci consentito di esaminare il materiale museale sotto la sua cura e per avere corte- semente riletto il manoscritto; Carlo Violani per gli utili suggerimenti; Antonio Rey per le preziose informazioni che ha gentilmente fornito; Fernando Pederzani per la cortesia mostrata nel fornirci celermente materiale bibliografico richiesto; Saulo Bambi per le fotografie riportate nel testo; i referee anonimi per i costrut- tivi commenti.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships and Distribution of the Rhizotrogini (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae) in the West Mediterranean
    Graellsia, 59(2-3): 443-455 (2003) PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE RHIZOTROGINI (COLEOPTERA, SCARABAEIDAE, MELOLONTHINAE) IN THE WEST MEDITERRANEAN Mª. M. Coca-Abia* ABSTRACT In this paper, the West Mediterranean genera of Rhizotrogini are reviewed. Two kinds of character sets are discussed: those relative to the external morphology of the adult and those of the male and female genitalia. Genera Amadotrogus Reitter, 1902; Amphimallina Reitter, 1905; Amphimallon Berthold, 1827; Geotrogus Guérin-Méneville, 1842; Monotropus Erichson, 1847; Pseudoapeterogyna Escalera, 1914 and Rhizotrogus Berthold, 1827 are analysed: to demonstrate the monophyly of this group of genera; to asses the realtionships of these taxa; to test species transferred from Rhizotrogus to Geotrogus and Monotropus, and to describe external morphological and male and female genitalic cha- racters which distinguish each genus. Phylogenetic analysis leads to the conclusion that this group of genera is monophyletic. However, nothing can be said about internal relationships of the genera, which remain in a basal polytomy. Some of the species tranferred from Rhizotrogus are considered to be a new genus Firminus. The genera Amphimallina and Pseudoapterogyna are synonymized with Amphimallon and Geotrogus respectively. Key words: Taxonomy, nomenclature, review, Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae, Rhizotrogini, Amadotrogus, Amphimallon, Rhizotrogus, Geotrogus, Pseudoapterogyna, Firminus, Mediterranean basin.

    AN ELECTRONIC CHECKLIST OF THE NEW WORLD CHAFERS (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEIDAE: MELOLONTHINAE) Version 3 ARTHUR V. EVANS Research Associate, Department of Entomology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC; Department of Recent Invertebrates, Virginia Museum of Natural History, Martinsville, VA; Department of Biology, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA; c/o1600 Nottoway Ave., Richmond, VA 23227, USA; [email protected] and ANDREW B. T. SMITH Canadian Museum of Nature, P.O. Box 3443, Station D, Ottawa, ON, K1P 6P4, Canada; [email protected] INTRODUCTION The following is a checklist of all Melolonthinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) found in the New World. It has been modified from Evans (2003), Evans and Smith (2005), and Smith and Evans (2005) and has been updated to 13 March 2009. Included in this checklist are all of the available names given for New World Melolonthinae (both valid and invalid). Tribes are listed in traditional order (pseudo-phylogenetically) with genera, species, and subspecies listed alphabetically within. Under each valid generic name the subgenera and synonymies are listed as are type species and, in some cases, citations for keys, checklists, and bibliographies. Listed under each valid species are synonymies, distributional data by country, and citations for new combinations and spellings. A complete bibliography is included in the “References” section of all papers mentioned in the checklist. The purpose of this checklist is to present accurate and complete information for all the names of Melolonthinae in the New World. The taxonomy herein is based on the current literature (even if we have unpublished data contradicting what has been published) and the nomenclature carefully follows the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.

  • Quinto Contributo Alla Revisione Della Collezione Coleotterologica Di Enrico Ragusa: Scarabaeoidea
    Naturalista sicil., S. IV, XXXIV (1-2), 2010, pp. 61 -172 MARCELLO ARNONE QUINTO CONTRIBUTO ALLA REVISIONE DELLA COLLEZIONE COLEOTTEROLOGICA DI ENRICO RAGUSA: SCARABAEOIDEA RIASSUNTO L’Autore, dopo un cenno alle modalità dell’intervento di restauro effettuate tra il 1999 e il 2001 sulla collezione Ragusa, custodita al Dipartimento di Biologia Animale dell’Università di Catania, passa in rassegna le 146 specie di Scarabaeoidea, per un totale di 1.643 esemplari, quasi tutti raccol - ti in Sicilia, contenuti in sei scatole della raccolta. Evidenzia la presenza dell’olotipo di Agoliinus ragusai (Reitter, 1892) e designa il lectotipo di Potosia hypocrita . Dà inoltre particolare risalto alle specie presenti in collezione e non più segnalate per l’isola successivamente allo stesso Ragusa: Geo - trupes mutator , Erytus cognatus , Melinopterus tingens , Oxyomus sylvestris , Anomala vitis e Melo - lontha hippocastani . Ricorda poi la presenza in collezione della Melolontha melolontha , la cui esi - stenza nell’isola era stata messa in dubbio dallo stesso Ragusa, malgrado precedenti segnalazioni. Cita per la prima volta in Sicilia Rhyssemus annaedicatus , sulla base di tre esemplari rinvenuti nella collezione. Indica quindi con dubbio alcune specie, non raccolte personalmente dal Ragusa, ma rice - vute da colleghi che gli comunicavano di averle rinvenute nell’isola: Anoxia pilosa , Rhizotrogus cica - tricosus , Firminus lautiusculus e Euserica mutata . Infine prende in esame altri 54 taxa, non presenti in collezione, ma che il Ragusa, pur non avendo mai personalmente raccolto, aveva segnalato in Sici - lia nei suoi articoli, in quanto comunicatigli da altri entomologi o perché citati dell’isola da altri stu - diosi contemporanei o suoi predecessori.

Received: 1 August 2012; in revised form: 13 September 2012 / Accepted: 25 September 2012 / Published: 18 October 2012 Simple Summary: This review summarizes adaptations and predispositions of different arthropod taxa (springtails, web spiders, millipedes and centipedes) to flood and drought conditions. The main focus sis directed to arthropod species, which are living in Middle European floodplain forests and wetlands, because of the fast change of flood and drought conditions in these habitats. Furthermore the effects of the predicted regional climate change like increasing aperiodic summer flooding and decreasing winter and spring floods are also discussed. Abstract: Floodplain forests and wetlands are amongst the most diverse and species rich habitats on earth. Arthropods are a key group for the high diversity pattern of these landscapes, due to the fact that the change between flooding and drought causes in different life cycles and in a variety of adaptations in the different taxa.

Degradation of this dung occurs naturally, primarily due to a diverse group of beetles (Order Coleoptera) primarily in the families Scarabaeidae and Geotrupidae(hereafter dung beetles). Dung that is not degraded becomes a non-point source of pollutants and may be leached into water bodies.
